Almost Like Chiton:)

Description

The front draping is always in fashion so we can say it’s classics. There are a lot of variants of them and everybody can choose the one as for the taste. Mine was made by the pattern from Burda 12/2005, #110. I used the top part then just lengthened it and widened on the bottom for comfort walking.

This tunic is loose enough to dress without a zipper. As my source of inspiration was the Ancient Greek clothes, I added two narrow belts sewed in the side seames to get fitting.
It is very simple and quick to make.

It is delightful and as always you are a very pretty and well dressed lady! Turning the top part of the pattern into a dress was a great idea, and it works well with the ties. With your fabric choise and your designing decisions you acheived an impessive result! I love it!

Thank you for the nice comment:) Coupons is my weakness and they want something simple. I didn’t think a lot what to sew of the fabric: the idea was born right in the shop – I put the coupon to myself and it draped on its own. To tell the truth, I even didn’t pay attention at once that the fabric has elastic fibre. I saw it at home after washing the material before cutting:))
